(Cl. 7(l134) 2 6 Qlaims.

My invention relates generally to key operated locks which are employed for securing various members in closed positions and against unauthorized opening, and an object of my invention, among others, is the production of a lock of this type that is simple in construction and particularly efficient in operation. A further object of the invention is the production of a lock that may be readily assembled and secured in comparatively inaccessible places; and still another object of the invention is to provide a lock that is especially adapted for use in metal furniture and in which the lock may be installed without undue cutting away of the parts to which it is secured.

' As hereinbefore mentioned this invention is particularly adapted for use in connection with metal furniture, and especially ofiice furniture, and for this reason the invention is illustrated herein as applied to the drawer of a desk, a fragment of which is shown, the numeral l5 denoting the front plate of the drawer front and It the back plate thereof. These members are formed from thin sheet metal and they are spaced apart to provide for a certain desired thickness of the drawer front and thereby create a chamber H. In a common form of construction one edge of the drawer front comprises interlocked elements on the front and back plates thereof, as hereinshown at its top edge, the front-plate l5 being bent backwardly and then downwardly to form an edge l8 and a lip l9, as shown in Fig. 2. The back plate [6 is bent backwardly at its upper edge and then upwardly to form a shoulder 20 against which the lip I9 is supported. This provides a stop for the drawer which by contact with the desk structure adjacent the opening for the drawer limits its inward movement.

In structures of this type it is common practice to secure the front and back plates of the drawer front permanently together so that access to the interior of the chamber in the drawer front after it is completed is prevented. It is therefore a purpose of the present invention to so construct the locking members which are contained in said chamber that the locking unit comprising a cylinder and a plug or barrel may be permanently secured in place with an arrangement whereby the locking bolt may be engaged with the locking unit and removed therefrom without disturbing or loosening any member of said locking unit.

The cylinder 2| of my improved lock is projected through an opening in the drawer front IS with an escutcheon 22 on the cylinder supported against the front face of the drawer front and a nut on the rear face of said front secures the cylinder in place with its rear end preferably supported against the inner face of the back I6 of the drawer, as shown in Fig. 2.

A plug 24 is rotatably mounted in the cylinder and has a key slot for a key 25. The cylinder, plug, and key thus far described may be of any well known construction, the key having notches for positioning tumblers which may be of the leaf or pin type, in this instance of the leaf type, to permit rotation of the plug by the key and to lock the plug against rotation when the key is removed, the details of these parts not being shown, as they will be readily understood by those skilled in the art. An opening or recess 26 is formed at or through the end of the cylinder beyond the inner end of the plug and a locking bolt 21 is engaged within this opening or recess and through a hole 28 in the ledge 29 in the upper edge of the front of the drawer. This bolt has a notch 30 in one side to receive an actuating pin 3| projecting from the end of the plug 24 and located eccentrically on said plug so that when the plug is turned as by the operation of a key, the bolt will be thrown in one or the other direction.

In order to permit a ready assembly of the lock in place on the drawer and without necessitating the cutting of openings in the back I6, the bolt is so constructed and assembled in the cylinder that it may be removed and replaced without disturbing the fastening of the lock or cylinder, in this operation the bolt being removed and inserted through the hole 28. In order to retain the locking bolt in place in the cylinder a detent 32 is pivotally mounted on the bolt near its rear end, this detent being so shaped and mounted that its end in efiect forms a portion of one side of the slot 30, as shown in Fig. 5. However, the detent may be depressed sufficiently to permit it to pass under the pin 3| when it is in the position shown in Fig. 6. A spring 33 operates upon the detent to hold it in a position to retain the locking bolt within the cylinder.

In the operation of assembling the device the cylinder 2| is secured in place by means of a nut 34 as shown in Fig. 2. The bolt is then inserted through the hole 28 in the upper edge of the drawer and into the opening through the cylinder, the detent having an inclined edge 35 which, coming in contact with the opening in the cylinder, will cause the detent to be depressed against the tension of the spring 33 and therefore permit the bolt to be inserted until shoulders 36 on the bolt come in contact with the edges of the openings through the cylinder. In this operation of inserting the bolt the actuating pin 3| should be turned by means of a key to the position shown in Fig. 6. When the bolt is fully inserted the detent will snap into its locking position as shown in Fig. 4.

In order to permit removal of the bolt a finger 37 is extended from one side of the detent forming a notch 38 and a groove 39 is cut into one face of the locking bolt to receive the end of a picking instrument 46 which when the bolt is projected outwardly to its full extent may be inserted through the groove and into the opening in the end of the cylinder and into engagement with the finger 31, as shown in Fig. 6. By this means the detent may be depressed to an extent to permit it to pass the actuating pin 3|.

In Figures 10 to 20 I have illustrated my improved lock as embodied in a structure of the pin tumbler type, the locking bolt, however, being assembled in the same manner by insertion through a hole at the edge of a drawer and through an opening in the cylinder of the lock. The main difference in the two structures is the connection between the plug and the lock bolt. The same reference characters will therefore be applied as far as practicable to the illustrations of both forms of the lock. The cylinder is secured in place in the same manner as hereinbefore described but it has at its back end an offset 4| the center of which is in axial alignment with a plug 42 which is of common construction and which is provided with pin tumblers common to structures of this type which tumblers are positioned by means of notches in the key 25, whereby when so positioned the plug may be turned in a manner well known to those skilled in the art. Pins 4344 project from the end of the plug for engagement in notches 464!48 and 49. The entrance notch 46 and the notch 48 are smaller than the notches 41 and 49, the smaller notches being adapted to receive the smaller pin 43 and the larger notches to receive the larger pin 44. The notch 46 is preferably made of angular shape for a purpose to be hereinafter described. The notches 46 to 49 are formed in one edge of a groove 59 extending lengthwise along one face of the bolt from the end of a shank 5| for about half the length of the bolt as a whole.

In assembling the bolt within the lock structure the shank of the bolt is inserted through the hole 28 in the ledge 29 of the drawer and is then inserted through the openings 26 in the cylinder. At this time the plug should be turned to such position that the smaller pin 43 will first enter the groove 50 and then by turning the plug by the aid of the key 25 the pin 43 will be rotated into the notch 46 and a continued turning movement will then locate the large pin in the notch 4'1 and then the small pin in the notch 48, and when the bolt has been fully retracted the large pin 44 will rest in the notch 49, in this position the pins 43 and 44 resting in the notches as shown in Fig. 15 of the drawings.

In order to prevent disengagement of the bolt from within the lock structure a detent is provided, this detent including a finger 53, for loca-q tion in a groove 54 in the opposite face of the bolt from the groove 56'. A recess. 55 opens out from one side of the groove 54, a depression 56 is formed within the recess, and a hole 51 opens through the bottom of the depression. A head 58 of the detent structure is shaped to enter the recess 55, a rest 59 is located on the bottom of the depression 56, and a retaining lip 60 extends through the hole 51. A detent 6| in the form of a bend at the end of the finger 53 is positioned to enter a hole 62 in the bottom of the notch 46 to be located in said notch so that movement of the pin 43 into said notch is prevented. From this it will be seen that rotation of the plug 42 to an extent to turn the pin 43 into the notch 46 will be stopped and the locking bolt cannot therefore be removed from the cylinder.

The head 58, rest 59, and retaining lip66 are loosely engaged within the recess 55, depression 56 and hole so that the detent as a whole may be slid lengthwise sufiiciently to cause the detent 6 to be moved out of the hole 62 and into the groove 54, the curved shape of the detent and the spring of the'finger 53 effecting this result when a litle pressure is applied to the end of the head 58, as by means of an instrument thrust into an extension 63 of the groove 5 the releasing position of the detent being shown in Fig. 17 of the drawings and the locking position being shown in Fig. 16. Said detent is drawn backwardly into the position shown in Fig. 13 by engaging the hooked end of the instrument inserted into the extension 63 of the groove 54 with the shoulder in the base of the finger 53.

In that form of the device shown in Figs. 21 to 29 the arrangement for retaining the locking bolt within the cylinder is slightly different from that hereinbefore described. The bolt in this structure is of inverted T-shape in cross section including lips 64 fitting within the recess of the opening 65 in the cylinder, asshown in Fig. 29. A plug 66 carries two pins 61 as in the devices of Figs. 13 to 17, but the pins are preferably of the same size. A detent 68 is secured in a recess 69 on one side of the bolt and projects through a hole 16 therein to the opposite side of the bolt. Its end H is bent to form a stop which engages the pins 6'! and thereby prevents removal of the bolt from its recess in the cylinder 12 and as shown in Figs. 26 and 27 of the drawings. detent is provided with a lip 13 projecting from one side in line with a groove 14 through which the instrument 40 maybe inserted to spring the detent out of position to engage the pins 61. When thus sprung out of such position the bolt may be withdrawn from its recess in the cylinder. The pins 61 constitute teeth to engage notches 15 in a recess 16 as in the device of Figs. 13 to 17 The devices shown in Figs. 30 to 32 are quite similar to the devices just described with the exception that a single pin 11 is used, said pin working in a groove 18 which permits a half rotation of the plug only in the operation of the bolt. The detent 19 is substantially the same as that shown in Figs. 24 to 28, being secured in a recess 86 on one side of the bolt and projecting through a hole therein to the opposite side where it acts as a dog to prevent removal of the bolt, its end in fact constituting one side of the groove 18 opposite a hole 8| through the bolt. A lip 82 is located on the opposite side of the detent from the structure shown in Figs. 24 to 28.

In the devices shown in Figs. 33 and 34 a retainer 83 for the bolt is secured to the cylinder The,

84, its end 85 being located in the path of movementof a shoulder 86 on the bolt to prevent removal of the latter. A pin 81 operates in a groove 83 in the bolt. as. in the structure hereinbefore described. The tool 46 may be inserted through a groove 89 to engage the detent and remove its end from the path of the shoulder 86 whereupon the bolt may be removed as in the devices hereinbefore mentioned.
